November Deals of the Month – Appleton and Glenkinchie

It’s the first week of November, which means it’s time for a new Spirit and Malt of the Month! And this time we’re going big.

First up is one of the most popular well-aged rums that we have – Appleton Estate 21 Year Old. Made in Jamaica on the eponymous estate, it’s a rich and complex sipping rum that pairs up perfectly with the autumn weather. Normally £140 a bottle, we’re knocking £41 off for the whole of November – that’s a discount of almost 30%.

Stu’s a big fan, so I asked nicely and he forced himself to try it again and write some tasting notes:

Finish: Sweet and spicy, with the ginger and cinnamon notes lasting longest.

Comment: An exceptional sipping rum, this needs time to contemplate and enjoy. A perfect balance between sweet and savoury.

Our Malt of the Month has been chosen in celebration of the newly arrived Diageo Special Releases 2015. We’ve found a few bottles of 20-year-old Glenkinchie 1990 from the 2010 Special Releases and have chopped £46 off the price – it’s also £99 for the whole of November, a discount of more than 30%.
